It looks pretty good, but is she wearing a nut cup!?! Because it really looks like it...
Trent, Nut cup! First time I heard of the term. I certainly hope shes does not have nuts. I see a load of Doujinshi that have girls with nuts - I dont understand it at all ;-;
"nut cup!" haha...I hope not also since I preordered the exclusive Blue hair version of her. She'll be my first Shunya Yamashita figure. Would like to try and find Rosanna as my second but no luck yet!
2 words... MOLD LINES... Character is cute (somehow). But seriously, can't they do proper hairs ? is it so difficult ? It look like they just mold stuff and think that anyway fians will buy whatever comes...
what's a nut cup?
she looks cute, but some how doesn't really appeal to me. i'll just wait for Non-non and the Mirei i just preordered
BeLe said, "what's a nut cup?" It's a groin cup to protect males from getting hit in the groin (or nuts) worn when playing various sports or practicing martial arts. Also called a "athletic cup." It's the first time I've heard it as a "nut cup" also. :D And now that you mention it, it does sort of look like one... ^_^;; Anyway, that's a cool figure... too bad my gf won't allow such figures in the house or it would be on my shelf. ^_^
I'll be honest here...I like that cardboard version more than the figure itself.
looks real nice, Shunya Yamashita's illustrations are really jaw dropping and wickedly Amazing, however Rudy seems like kind of butch name for a fantastic figured figure. ^^ @trent nutcup!?! lol
Lookin hot there. Nut cup? (-__-") Sounds like someone's starting an Internet meme.
already got: sera-chan sera-chan [blonde repaint] rei ayanami (yamashita/REFLECT] looking fwd to the rest.. i would die for a poizon [yamashita/REFLECT] figure though.. shes so hot!
she does look pretty good, does it mean Shunya Yamashita is the sculptor?
congrats on 20k visiters per day...and she looks hot...the flaw on top of her head/hair seems too obvious though..
cool figure ... dont know bout the hair though ... suppose I need 2 check it out 2 appreciate it more .... wicked pix Danny!!
mmmmmm. curvy! pity i wont be getting it though...running short of $$$ lately.
Danny, I totally agree with you, even if this one is OK, Mirei san is way better. Next in my list is the non-non, and I also like what e2046 did with the Shion bust to make it a full figure.
セクシ！Thats a really nice figure. The figures designed by Shunya Yamashita, imo they are some of the sexiest figures out there. Rudy looks amazing however i have to say Mirei is still the best Shunya Yamashita work.
shunya yamashita is just an illustrator. a lot of sculptors has put thier own twists to his art work. so far, my favorites has been from REFLECT
That figure is so gorgeous and sexy too. But I think that this figure is expensive.
I have sera chan, and most of his other figures (Mirei-san, NonNon & shii arisugawa) are on pre-order. I love his art style, and his semi-realistic look is pretty unique in this world of cartoony anime figures. The eyes and faces on his figures are stunning too. This fig is nice, but its not 'classy' enough and seems a bit of OTT titilation - the cast off proves that! Not sure how the boobs would look after cast off though - they are modeled so that they squash around the top...
hell yeah. i got them all (on preorder ^_^) can't wait for them ladys to land on my desk. I do think mirei's the best one too, but non-non in her light pink version is gorgeous too...
I like most of shunya yamashita works. But i am only getting shii arisugawa PVC. If possible i would search for the Reflect version of shii arisugawa too.
Hmm, not a huge fan of Shunya's work but Rudy is might make it's way to my buy list....if only for that sword @_@

I have Sera-chan and Mirei is on the way. Shunya figures are more realistic than other figures
I'm waiting for my mirei-san !! ^^
wow this is sure gna be a really popular website!!
@Danny And yet you still don't dig the cheongsam girl with the humongous cleaver that Shunya designed. :( Oh well, this one's quite sexeh. Nosebleed all around, folksies~!
:O oooaaaaaaahhhhh that figure is soo very nice ^_^ It is still no Mirei, but it sure is nice, i really like Shunya Yamashita's art style and because of that i would really like to get every figuree that is related to his charascter designs...then i can have the whole collection ^_^ Ooh, is there a specific place in Tokyo that is best for getting ahold of Shunya Yamashita figures? Or are there numrerous different places?
wow we have the sculptor himself here, cool :D. great work Modeller T (Taro).
I might have to consider this one . . .
hey this is a comment for the past post about airguns: hey danny if you wanna check out the airsoft scene in the USA... a good site is AIRSOFT RETREAT... http://airsoftretreat.com/ full-metal replicas are most popular here in us.. and while the japanese 'tokyo-marui' maker is still somewhat popular here... its generally looekd down upon since they are all made of plastics. makers like 'classic army' and 'ics' only make full-metal guns ^^ i own a classic army G36K and a KWA gas blowback glock 18c (also full metal) =]
This is a lovely figure indeed. A perfect mix between lethal and sexy. The pink pants are smlpy too hot and the BRA effect is absolute. For me one of the best figure OO. Danny, nice pics as alaways! .:XIII:.
Gorgo, BRA effect is indeed nice ^^; Jason, Thanks for the link. Arekusu, Depends on the maker - Mirei san is limited to Kotobukiya shops for example. Frost, Which one is that? T Taro-san, メールを送らせて頂きました。 AndyH, Her eyes are interchangeable ^^; Alafista, No - an illustrator.
Danny This one: http://blog67.fc2.com/s/shunlog/file/004b.jpg But I recall seeing a figurine where she's holding her melee weapon the same way Rudy's holding hers in your photos.
Frost, I know the one you are talking about with the axe behind her. I prefer the illustration you should us though. Cant remember seeing it as a figure.
Very hot figure. Thinking of getting it if I have any spare cash.
Yeah, the illustration I showed would have been better made as a figurine than the one rolled out by Yamato.
Frost, Most definitely ^^;
In my opinion the best Shunya Yamashita figures have been Mirei-san (either one take your pick ;)) and Non-Non (pink cheongsam/qípáo girl).
i don't know who she is but plan to find out...great figure DAnny...thanks for showing it to some who don't get much anime in their countries :-)
I have Mieri-san and both Sera-chans. These figures are amazing. I have Rudy on pre-order for both me and my store and I can't wait. Shunya Yamashita figures are one of the best lines ever. They match his work very well.
I've got my Sera-chan yet and now i'm waiting for Mirei-san, this figures are awesome :)
I really want some figures from this artist. Love all this work and would really like the SHII ARISUGAWA model. Keep up the good work.
Wow i really should get on the figure collection that is one nice figure.
